Does anyone have any thoughts on the significance of “unified titles”?
What will it mean in MMA? is it good, bad, will it eventually lead to so many different belts as in boxing? without one undisputed champion?
what do you guys think?

the last thing i heard about Jackson vs. Henderson was that it was not going to be a title fight and the Pride champ would stay the Pride champ and the UFC champ would stay the UFC champ. i will look into it a bit more but i think it a non title fight.

Frank Mir is one of those boys that is in real good with the Fertittas and Dana, he will always have a job.. .thing is.. I am pulling for him to win this next fight, I really hope he comes back up to full force, he is the one American fight I think has the skill to beat anyone at HW including Fedor, that is at full force.. in tip top shape..

I wont lie, sugarcoat it or otherwise, I personally think that had Frank not gotten in that accident, he would be the HWC of the world today, and not Couture, Cro Cop, or anyone could take it from him save Fedor, and in 3 years who would’ve been able to say it couldn’t happen… but the accident did happen, the femur did get broken in half, and Frank has been at 1/3 of what he used to be ever since…. anyone seen any recent pics of Mir, if he is in better physical condition or not?

If Mir is in shape, it will be a good fight. I think they jumped him back into the octagon too quickly after his accident, which has been hard on his recovery. I also think that since he is a former champion and was at one time VERY popular, (Dr J used to be a big fan too) and he already has a contract standing with the UFC and needs to exhaust it, why not put his butt on the card, I mean if he has name recognition why not? I know he got fat and sucky, but if he has cut a little bit and gotten back into old form, it could be good to watch… ahh who knows..

I tell ya, some guys just can’t do anything wrong in Dana boys’ eyes. I’m not sure if I want to see an out of shape Mir get beaten to a bloody pulp again. Dana should have a superbowl of recent losers who he loves…let’s see…

Cote
Mir
Din Thomas
every TUF castoff (probably about 30 peeps right there)

Did anyone notice a Frank Mir vs. Antoni Hardonk fight added to UFC 74? I guess the matchmakers couldn’t let this one get away from Fight Night

Cote is a very frustrating fighter to be a fan of. He walks on the edge of being A level. He just never seems to be able to make it happen. Cote is a good fighter and always has heart when he fights. I’d never turn down a chance to watch a Cote fight.

This Jackson vs Henderson is to unify the belts. So you could actually say there are two titles on the line. Whoever wins this fight will walk away with both belts.
